Milak, der Grönlandjäger

Directed by Georg Asagaroff and Bernhard Villinger

With Ruth Weyher, Lotte Lorring, Iris Arlan, Nils Focksen and Helmer Hannsen

Critics of the time called "Milak, der Grönlandjäger" the German answer to Robert Flaherty’s "Nanook of the North" (1922). Filmed largely on location in Greenland and Norway’s Spitsbergen archipelago, the film combines impressive landscape footage with ethnographic observation.
